How do I get back to the screen to update that my dependent earned more than $5200?

Dependent information is entered in MY INFO.   If your dependent is a full-time college student under the age of 24 the income does not change your ability to claim her.

 

 

WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?

 

You can claim a child, relative, friend, or fiancé (etc.) as a dependent on your 2025 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

Qualifying child

  • They're related to you.
  • They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
  • They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
  • They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
  • They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
    • No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
  • They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
  • They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.

Qualifying relative

  • They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
  • They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
  • They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
  • They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
  • They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
  • They made less than $5200 in 2025 (not counting Social Security)
  • You provided more than half of their financial support.

Here is how to get back to the screen that asks this question.

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Go to Select "My Info" (Online) or the "Personal Info" tab (Desktop).
  3. You will see a summary of you, your spouse, and your dependents. Locate the specific dependent and click Edit or Revisit next to their name.
  4. Scroll through the interview screens. You'll pass their name, Social Security number, and birthday. Continue until you reach the screen that asks: "Did [Name] have any gross income of $5,200 or more?"
